Two light sources emit waves of λ = 1.5 m which are in phase. The two waves from these sources meet at a distant point. Wave 1 traveled 6.75 m to reach the point, and wave 2 traveled 5.25 m. When the waves meet, they are

Step 1
The wavelength (λ) is given as 1.5 m. For Wave 1: Distance traveled = 6.75 m Number of wavelengths = Distance traveled / Wavelength = 6.75 m / 1.5 m = 4.5 wavelengths For Wave 2: Distance traveled = 5.25 m Number of wavelengths = Distance traveled / Wavelength = Show more…

two light sources emit waves of =1 m which are in phase. the two waves from these sources meet at a distant point. wave 1 traveled 2 m to reach point, and wave 2 traveled 3 m. when the waves meet, they are?

Two in-phase sources of waves are separated by a distance of 4.00 m. These sources produce identical waves that have a wavelength of 5.10 m. On the line between them, there are two places at which the same type of interference occurs. (A) Where are the places located? ____m (smaller distance from source #1) ____m (larger distance from source #1)
In Fig. $35-54$, two isotropic point sources $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ emit light at wavelength $\lambda=400 \mathrm{~nm} .$ Source $S_{1}$ is located at $y=640$ $\mathrm{nm}$; source $S_{2}$ is located at $y=-640 \mathrm{~nm}$. At point $P_{1}$ (at $x=720 \mathrm{~nm}$ ), the wave from $S_{2}$ arrives ahead of the wave from $S_{1}$ by a phase difference of $0.600 \pi$ rad. (a) What multiple of $\lambda$ gives the phase difference between the waves from the two sources as the waves arrive at point $P_{2}$, which is located at $y=720 \mathrm{~nm} ?$ (The figure is not drawn to scale.) (b) If the waves arrive at $P_{2}$ with equal amplitudes, is the interference there fully constructive, fully destructive, intermediate but closer to fully constructive, or intermediate but closer to fully Shoreline destructive?
